Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Work of the Hereditary Patriotic Societies: Reprinted From the Fist Annual Report of the Ohio Valley Historical Association Society Of Colonial Dames. Mrs. Herman Groesbeck, Honorary President National Society of Colonial Dames of America in the State of Ohio. Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen of the Hereditary Patriotic Societies: I have construed your very kind invitation for a short report from the National Society of Colonial Dames in America as a wish to learn comething of the nature of the work that has been accomplished by this Society. The time allotted me is short and my paper will bristle with statistics and necessarily be stripped bare of much interesting detail. The work of the National Society of Colonial Dames may for brevity be classified as follows: The marking of places of historic interest; The printing and preservation of valuable Colonial and other records; The holding of expensive and interesting loan exhibitions; The giving of prizes for essays on Colonial or early American history. Landmarks of historic interest threatened with destruction have been purchased and restored and preserved for future generations. Colonial study classes have been formed in many states with excellent results. Essays written by members of these classes are sent to the Reciprocity Bureau and circulated on request. A National Relief Association that may be called upon in time of war or in time of any national disaster has been organized. In Pennsylvania the Society has purchased, restored and furnished the home of James Logan-Stenton. James Logan was the friend and secretary of William Penn, and Stenton is now in all its beauty the center of the social life of this Society. The Elizabeth Gillespie Memorial has taken the form of an annual scholarship of $1,500.00 at Bryn Mawr College. Prizes are offered to the graduates of the Girls High School and School of Industrial Art in Philadelphia for essays and also to the girl students of the Thurston School at Pittsburg.
